Lizzie asks…
Whats the difference between a dietitian and a nutritionist?
I want to be either a nutritionist or a dietitian when I am older, so what is the difference? What qualifications do you need for each job, and what subjects should I take in school? I chose not to do science this year because it was up against food & nutrition so I thought food & nutrition would be more important for being a dietitian/nutritionist.

The term nutritionist is subject to several interpretations. However, it should never be confused with the term dietitian.
In many jurisdictions a nutritionist is a person who devotes professional activity to food and preventive nutrition. They can also advise people on dietary matters relating to health, well-being and nutrition.
In some jurisdictions such as the UK and some US states the term “nutritionist” is not a legally protected term. As a result, some nutritionists who appear in the media in these jurisdictions may give advice on diet that is of questionable informational value.
The term “dietitian” is legally protected. Dietitians are registered with the American Dietetic Association and are only able to use the title “dietitian” when they have met strict, specific educational and experiential prerequisites and passed a national registration examination.
The title “nutritionist” is protected and designated by many but not all states in the United States. It is important that a person seeking the counsel of a nutritionist, check with their local state’s licensing agency to find out if prospective practitioners are duly licensed.
Traditionally, dietitians work in institutional settings, such as hospitals, schools and prisons, rather than in private practice. Nutritionists sometimes work in such institutional but more often work in private practice, in education and research. Some overlap exists within the two professions.
John asks…
How difficult is it to become a dietitian?
I’m wondering how hard the schooling is to become a dietitian? I’m pretty sure this is what I want to do. I’m wondering if there is anyone out there who has successfully completed the program that could let me know!
I’ve noticed it compared to pharmacy a lot. Is it on the same level of difficult?
Any tips?!
Thanks!
